ANGEL IN THE WILDERNESS (Patreon)

Note: This story is intended for mature audiences (18+) and all characters depicted are 18 years of age or older.

Are angels real or not? Like many people, I don't know the correct answer. But… I think they're real. At least in that wild place, I met the angel of my life!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My family has a great reputation in the culinary industry. SafePack Innovations is a corporation under the Lucas family and I, Royce Lucas, am the only son of the president of SafePack Innovations.

I have no interest in management and business, so until now I still do not want to inherit my family's assets. Instead, I prefer to be a researcher. I often wander around in many places, sometimes it's an uninhabited island, sometimes it's a dangerous mountainous area. It's all for the purpose of finding unique ingredients for food processing.

SafePack Innovations has a long-standing reputation as a leading provider of safe, quality-packed foods in country V. Especially later generations are always more successful than previous generations. SafePack Innovations has always developed through each generation of the Lucas family. And in this generation, I am the person who has the greatest contribution in helping the corporation develop, but most of it is silent help in finding raw materials.

My father always urged me to inherit the position of president of SafePack Innovations and get married because I was in my 30s this year. But he basically didn't understand me. What I need is not the great fortune of the Lucas family and not fame or power. If possible, I just want to travel all my life to find ingredients all over the world.

Today I quarreled with my father again. As a result, I decided to go to one of the most dangerous places in country V, the Celestial Paradise forest. “Celestial paradise” means a place where gods dwell. This forest is named Celestial Paradise, which does not mean that it is a fairyland, but it means that anyone who sets foot in it will “soon meet the gods”.

I don't really care either. I have been to a lot of dangerous places abroad. There is no reason why I should be afraid of a danger in my own country. This time it was an unplanned trip because I temporarily disobeyed my father, so no one went with me. But that doesn't matter, I've had plenty of experience exploring!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“Damn it! Where is that brat Lucas Royce?! I have to cut off his legs!” - A voice rang out in the room on the top floor of the SafePack building.

“It's okay, relax! Please calm down! Although he is the only son of the Lucas family, your son has never been as mischievous as those rich children! That's fine!” - Another voice responded.

Both voices belonged to men and judging from the hoarse voice, one could guess that the speaker was middle-aged or elderly. That’s right. One of them is the president of SafePack Innovations, Hugh Lucas. The other is the president of HerbHamorny, a pharmaceutical company. Of course, the scale of HerbHarmony is not as great as SafePack Innovations, but the two presidents are old college friends.

“I would rather have a child who destroys the family. At least they are greedy for power and easy to control. But my son, no one can control him, not even me!”

“It's not a secret to you, I also have a son like that. If I don't pay attention for a moment, he and his sister will run away from me to look for medicinal herbs. But you needn't worry. Once married, they will pay more attention to the future and do less dangerous things. That's why I want to nominate my daughter. Our family status is not the same as yours, please don't criticize my daughter.”

“Don't mention the family status to your friend. I'm not a person who cares about reputation like that. Not to mention, I also really like your daughter, a cute girl who cares about others.”

During this time, Hugh Lucas was always busy looking for his daughter-in-law. Many times, Hugh Lucas asked his son to go on a blind date, but each time Royce Lucas refused. He hopes this time his son will like his old friend's daughter.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“Fuck, I'm lost!” - As I walked, I mumbled. Okay, I admit I underestimated the danger of this place. I had just started from the edge of the forest a few dozen minutes ago, but I already had many injuries on my body from avoiding wild animals, insect attacks, and tripping due to the rugged terrain. And now, I realize I've lost my way!

What an unlucky day today! I swear I have to at least find a new ingredient to make up for this bad luck! As soon as I made my promise to myself, I tripped over a log and fell a few times. There is a limit to human endurance. My endurance probably only goes so far. I fainted soon after, my mouth did not forget to curse: “Damn, that's bad luck!” but I don't seem to have the strength to make my voice come out of my throat.

Do I have to die here today? Well, it's not too bad, at least I won't have to get married and inherit the SafePack Innovations business. I wonder if there is anywhere in the heaven to look for ingredients. Just before I fainted, I saw an angel! Because my consciousness was not awake enough, I only dimly saw the angel's silhouette, but I was sure she was beautiful and honest. I think I set my standards too high, don't I? I don't want to marry a human, I want to marry an angel...

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“Sis, looks like Dad wants you to marry the young master of SafePack Innovations, right?”

“Yeah… so I have to go back to the city now.”

“But don't you already have a boyfriend?”

“Yeah, that's why I don't want to marry the young master of SafePack Innovations. If I have to get married, the person I want to marry is my boyfriend.”

“He is really nice! Is there any way to prevent this marriage?”

“The only way is to make him not like me on the blind date.”

“I think it's very difficult for a guy to refuse you. I'm going back to the city with you. We'll figure it out on the way back.”

At the train station closest to the Celestial Paradise Forest, a sister and her younger brother are having a conversation. They went to Celestial Paradise Forest to find medicinal herbs. Although this place is very dangerous, in return, natural medicine is very rich, so they have visited this place many times. It can be said that they are very familiar with the terrain of Celestial Paradise Forest. Through the dialogue, you guessed it, they are the son and daughter of the president of HerbHarmony.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When I woke up, the first thing I saw was the ceiling and the white walls. Is this heaven? If this is true, then heaven is too ugly! Not to mention the smell that crept into my nose was exactly the same as the smell I smell when I went to visit my grandmother many years ago.

“Are you awake?”

Turning towards the direction of the sound, I saw a girl wearing a nurse's outfit. I asked her: “Please let me ask... Do the residents of heaven also have a hobby of cosplaying?” Unexpectedly, she immediately frowned: “What cosplay! This is a hospital! The room you are in is the private hospital room of HerbHarmony Company.”

Ah, so that's it! I'm not dead yet. Now I have peace of mind! The person I met when I nearly fainted was a human, not an angel. It seems that my taste is still normal. HerbHarmony Company? It sounds familiar, but for the time being I don't remember.

I politely asked the nurse: “How much is the hospital fee for me to pay?”

The nurse chuckled: “Don't worry, your hospital bills, the daughter of HerbHarmony’s the president has paid. You won't be able to pay either! Your wound is quite serious, fortunately they gave you first aid before taking you to the hospital so you did not get infected from the wound.”

What do you mean by “not being able to pay hospital bills”?! Although I have not inherited the family inheritance, I do not lack money to pay for a treatment. If necessary, I will sell all my shares of SafePack Innovations! I will also sell my father's shares... cough… just kidding! If someone else has already paid my hospital bills for me, I don't need to say much.

After completing discharge procedures, I walked out of the hospital gate. This place seems to be the closest hospital to Celestial Paradise Forest. According to the nurse, the person who saved me seems to be the daughter of HerbHarmony’s the president. I've found my angel!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“I have a solution, sis!”

“What solution?!”

“I'll pretend to be you. My face is also quite feminine, just a little makeup is okay. We're going to fool him. When he finds out that the person going on the blind date is a guy, he will definitely refuse. Although it would be a bit of a pity for him if we did so, there is no other way.”

“Thank you… I owe you this time, bro!”

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As soon as I got home, my father yelled at me for leaving home for more than a week without contact, and my body was still covered in injuries.

“Since you're already back, then let's go on a blind date!”

“Again?”

“I'm sure you'll like her this time. She's the daughter of HerbHarmony’s the president! There are a lot of guys who love her. This time you have to go! That's my old friend's daughter!”

“Huh? Did you just say HerbHarmony?”

“Exactly!”

“There's no need to go on a blind date! Let's get married!”

“Why are you so decisive this time? But that's okay, I like that spirit!”

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“No need for a blind date, he wants to get married right away?!” - At the Tang family's house, the owner of HerbHarmony company, Dawn Tang asked his elder sister. She nodded sadly: “Yes, he wants that! Looks like our plan can't be implemented!” Dawn Tang thought for a moment and then said: “It's okay! Just like the old plan, I will still disguise myself as you, we will reveal to him on the wedding night.”

“But he's going to kill you! Doing so would humiliate him!”

“Hopefully he will understand us! I heard that he has a very kind personality, not like other rich people. We just need to deal with dad.”

“No problem! That day I will distract him! It's been hard for you, bro!”

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Our wedding took place very quietly, without any fuss. Doesn't sound like the wedding of two rich families? The reason is because I want it! Even my father and her father, I did not allow them to attend! My father was afraid I would change my mind so he accepted my request. But he didn't know, there was no way I would give up this wedding! I simply want as few people to see the beauty of my angel as possible.

Standing next to her during the wedding, my face turned red, my heart beat fast. This is a sign of happiness! Tonight, she will be mine!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dawn Tang is in a more tense mood than ever! A few hours ago, he had his makeup and hair done thoroughly. Possessing a feminine face and appearance, plus a bridal veil, throughout the entire wedding ceremony, the young master of SafePack Innovations still did not realize he was a man.

But the hardship is just beginning! Tonight, he was forced to reveal the truth to Royce Lucas. Not to mention, after that, he and his sister would have to face the wrath of both families! But that's okay, it's all for your sister's happiness! Since childhood, they have been extremely close to each other! When he went to pick medicinal herbs, his elder sister always accompanied him to avoid being scolded by their father. He loved his sister so much that he didn't want her to marry someone she didn't like.

Just entered the room decorated in a romantic style, he was hugged by someone from behind. He panicked, wondering why Royce Lucas was so impatient! At this rate, he won't be able to reveal the truth to Royce Lucas!

Roy Lucas embraces Dawn Tang from behind. His cheek rubbed Dawn Tang's head, a gesture of love. Next, he took off the bridal dress that Dawn Tang was wearing. At this time, there was only one set of pure white silk lace wedding lingerie on him. Instinctively, Dawn Tang covered the “that part” with one hand.

At this point, Dawn Tang could not let things continue. He quickly turned around, his face red, closed his eyes and shouted: “Sorry! I'm not my sister! I'm a guy! Sorry for deceiving you!”

But closing his eyes for a minute, he still didn't hear anything from Royce Lucas. He thought Royce must be very angry. Curious, he opened his eyes to see that Royce's face was close to his face. Royce Lucas was staring at his face. Dawn Tang closed his eyes again because of shyness.

After that, Royce Lucas one hand against his chin said: “There is nothing wrong! This was clearly the face I saw then. Although my consciousness was not clear at that time, I certainly wouldn't mistake the lines on that person's face. There is no doubt that you were an angel back then!”

Dawn Tang was surprised: “Angel? What are you talking about.?”

“Do your sister's face and yours look alike?”

“Both my sister and I have feminine faces, but they are definitely not the same.”

“You saved me last week in the Celestial Paradise Forest, didn't you?”

“Ah, were you the person back then?! That day, you had many injuries on your body so I didn't recognize you. After I finished giving you first aid, my sister asked someone to take you to the hospital. Are you still in pain?”

“Oh... when you found out I was the one injured back then, you became more concerned about me than your own current awkward situation? That's right, you are my angel!”

“But I'm a guy!”

“No problem!”

“WHAT?!” - Dawn Tang was stunned to hear such unexpected things. But before he could react, Royce Lucas pulled him down on the bed to make love. Royce Lucas' strength was too great for him to resist. At first, Dawn Tang felt very painful but just a moment later, the pain turned into satisfaction, making him unwilling to stop!

Having experienced a moment of lovemaking, Dawn Tang is now lying with his head on Royce Lucas' chest. Royce Lucas asked: “Well... so do you still want to be my wife?” Dawn Tang blushed, used his small hands to lightly punch Royce Lucas: “Is this the question you asked me after turning me into a woman?!”

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“WHERE ARE THEY?!” - At this time, both Lucas and Tang families are in turmoil! It has been a few months since that strange wedding, and both families have also accepted their son to come together.

This time, both families were in chaos for another reason. It was early in the morning until now, they had not seen either Royce Lucas or Dawn Tang anywhere. Hugh Lucas remembers that he seemed very comfortable with his son's decision. He did not forbid his son's love. Certainly there was no reason for them to run away for forbidden love.

Hugh Lucas shouted: “Where are they! I have to cut off their legs!”

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On a small island in country P, two people are searching for something. A moment later, both of them held a herb in their hands and said loudly: “How lucky! I have found the ingredients (medicinal herbs) for the new product!” Both of them were surprised by their unison. They looked at each other and laughed together.

After marriage, these two people remain unchanged. Royce Lucas still prefers to search for raw materials rather than inherit the family business. Dawn Tang is still passionate about finding medicinal herbs, the only difference is, his companion is no longer his sister but Royce Lucas, the husband he loves most in the world!

The two showed off what they had just found in front of the other. The two giggle and hug each other and give each other a deep kiss.

THE END
